Had a blast walking around Granville Island, one of Vancouver’s true urban gems. Although not quite an island (a thin strip of land connects it to the south shore of False Creek), the 35 acres is almost completely surrounded by water and offers great views of Downtown to the north and east. It is jam-packed full of artisan studios, theaters, buskers (street performers), a marina, and one of the best public markets we’ve ever seen. This is peak season for local fruit, and the market was bursting with color and fragrance.
